Slugdge - Suffering Quahog lyrics

In cold recesses of infinite time I have slept beneath the grime Then from the surface world Came to me with prying hands And plucked me from the sand Dissect my body in search of power Clandestine secrets of the shell Intrigued by my longevity In an environmental hell My smashed and broken form shall give rise To horrors undreamt of by the mind Alive since time immemorial To be dredged from our home I shall not relinquish the secrets of the slime They are mine, and mine alone Five hundred years existed, dormant, and without a care Free from the tyranny of air Witnessed the rise the fall of Empires from beneath the waves And seen my slimebrethren enslaved Suddenly man takes an interest in me; I'm swept up and caged Probed and desecrated, left to bake out in the sun They shall suffer for their wrongs For a thousand aeons We have harvested the souls Of much greater things than you In the end my d**h shall be a sacrifice In the service of his truth
